At Cornflower, Megan and her team of talented bakers showcase many of the beloved pastries that helped define the dessert programs at Rye in Kansas City, MO and Leawood, KS, which she co-owns with her husband, Chef Colby Garrelts.

‍The bakery features familiar favorites like cinnamon rolls, pies, and cakes alongside new additions to the pastry menu, as well as savory grab-and-go sandwiches, curated coffee from Onyx, canned cocktails, and signature retail goods creating a warm neighborhood destination for both everyday treats and special occasions. With a focus on seasonal ingredients, time-honored techniques, and products made from scratch, Cornflower is rooted in a commitment to quality and genuine hospitality.

A multi-year James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef, Megan’s recipes have appeared in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, and Saveur. Megan and Colby are also the authors of two cookbooks, Bluestem: The Cookbook and Made in America: A Modern Collection of Classic Recipes, reflecting their shared commitment to celebrating American and Midwestern cooking. Together, they have spent more than two decades shaping Kansas City’s dining scene through their restaurants Bluestem and Rye, and now with the addition of their bakery Cornflower they continue to create welcoming spaces that bring the community together around exceptional food and thoughtful service.
